Role
Who you are
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- Experience: 5+ Years of Experience in Electrical Engineering
- Demonstrated experience owning electrical system design for complex hardware systems
- Strong background in power distribution, protection, grounding, and electrical safety
- Experience designing control panels, cabinets, and electrical packaging
- Experience creating and maintaining electrical P&IDs, process diagrams, or electrical interface diagrams for complex systems
- Ability to produce clear, build‑ready electrical documentation
- Familiarity with industry standards applicable to electrical systems, including cable and wire harness standards (IPC/WHMA‑A‑620), electrical panel standards (UL 508A, NFPA 70/79), and P&ID standards (ANSI/ISA‑5.1)
- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum
Desirable
- Experience using P&IDs in safety reviews, commissioning, or operational documentation
- Hands‑on experience with harness and cable design
- Experience supporting system integration, commissioning, and failure analysis
- Background working closely with controls, mechanical, and systems engineering teams
What the job involves
- As an Electrical Engineer — Power Distribution & Controls Packaging, you will apply your skills to own and deliver end‑to‑end electrical system implementation, including power distribution and protection, control panels and cabinets, harnessing, and electrical process and interface diagrams (P&IDs)
- We are looking for engineers who bring strong technical depth, systems thinking, and a commitment to quality to help build the electrical foundation of next‑generation fusion systems
- Own electrical architecture and implementation for assigned subsystems, translating system and control requirements into safe, compliant electrical designs
- Design and own power distribution and protection schemes, including grounding, shielding, fault protection, and electrical safety considerations
- Lead the design of control panels, cabinets, and electrical packaging, with a focus on robustness, serviceability, and scalability
- Own cable and harness architecture, including interface definition, routing strategy, and documentation
- Develop and maintain electrical‑focused P&IDs and interface diagrams describing power, signal, interlock, and utility interfaces
- Use P&IDs as a cross‑disciplinary communication tool between Electrical, Controls, Mechanical, Safety, and Operations
- Ensure consistency between P&IDs, schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, and control I/O definitions
- Produce complete, build‑ready electrical design packages, including P&IDs, schematics, wiring diagrams, harness drawings, ICDs, BOMs, and supporting documentation
- Support design reviews, hazard analyses, safety reviews, system integration, commissioning, and bring‑up activities
- Lead electrical failure analysis and root‑cause investigations, driving corrective actions and continuous improvement
- Design electrical systems, panels, harnesses, and documentation in accordance with applicable internal and industry standards, including IPC/WHMA‑A‑620, IPC‑A‑610, IPC‑J‑STD‑001, UL 508A, NFPA 70/79, and ANSI/ISA‑5.1 for P&IDs
Our take
The need for safe, reliable, and zero-carbon energy is urgent. Fossil fuels cause significant emissions and environmental harm, while renewables like wind and solar are limited by their intermittent nature. This has intensified the search for sustainable solutions, with nuclear fusion standing out.
Xcimer is advancing laser-driven inertial fusion technology to address this energy problem. Leveraging decades of research and advancements in technology, the company hopes to enhance the efficiency and scalability of fusion energy production.
In a nutshell, the company is developing the world's highest-energy laser system, using innovative techniques to scale fusion generation to industrial levels. This approach has the potential to make fusion a viable and economical energy source - having a significant effect on global energy woes.
With a successful round of fundraising in 2024, Xcimer is set to advance its technological and commercialisation efforts. It plans to establish a new facility in Denver for constructing a prototype laser system, and expand its technical team. A $9 million award from the US Department of Energy further highlights the value of bringing the promise of fusion power closer to reality.
